  • Operational platform was fundamental to one firm concept, premium value and business sale.

    “We created a 'one firm' concept and management felt more confident in training new joiners, with the operational platform to base their training and management on. Training and performance improved and became much more consistent. New joiners on average were profitable 5 months quicker than had been historically the case. Profitability improved by 20% in the first year; when we sold the business, fundamental in this sale was our profits growth and the operational platform. These promoted confidence in our ability to leverage the business dynamically, growing scale and profits at the same time.”

“Since 2006, I’ve distilled decades of experience into helping ambitious leaders build workplaces where people thrive, deliver exceptional customer experience, and achieve profitable, sustainable business growth.

It’s all based on our Growth Framework.

Why? Because gaps in specific functions - what we call “value builders” - weaken the opportunity to maximise potential and grow.

With the Framework in place and applied well, we’ve seen results like this:

  • Founders and top leaders confident in their ability to develop next tier leadership teams to enable scale-up.

  • Everyone, including relatively junior people, embracing strategic know-how to adapt to change and identify new, profitable markets.

  • Billers’ performance and results 4 x the industry average.

  • Fill rates averaging 70% upwards.

  • Organisations attracting and retaining the best talent over competitors.

  • Team leaders onboarding and developing team members to high performance, fast.

  • Support teams adding real value, that enhances sales and service delivery.

  • Higher valuations on acquisition and exit.

We’ve now taken that a step further to create the Growth Framework online - because we want to empower business leaders to achieve these results for themselves.

How? Through focusing on strategic, operational and talent elements of business, in a way that:

  • Develops every single employee’s capability, company-wide.

  • Is easily reflected and embedded into existing systems and processes.

  • Dovetails with, and enhances, any additional development resources used (such as training, memberships and NEDs).

  • Is relevant at every stage of growth, from start-up to exit.

With you and relevant, every step of the way.

  • See where you’re at with the FREE Growth Scorecard. And get it right first time, with the Growth Framework. 

    You’re supported to get the right foundations in place, and to manage them well, right from the start.  This is in core areas that have most impact on sustainable growth. But it will also positively impact every other area of your business too.

  • Keep on the right trajectory with the Growth Framework, as you start to add to your team and other resources.

    All additional development resources you introduce, can be quickly embedded into your Framework, ensuring it’s aligned and efficient from the start. 

    Every person you hire will have a great journey from day one, and be more successful and productive with you, due to the quality of your onboarding, development and training (all of which includes your Growth Framework content).

    Then, because your values are reflected onto all your tech, processes and systems, new hires can quickly and easily apply these to a high quality, from day one.

  • Maintain and protect your core values and standards, as your business matures.

    At the same time, avoid complacency by utilising strategic Framework materials to clarify next focus. And consider maximising additional growth opportunities, using account management and “lemon-squeezing” resources.

    Growth Framework content will support you to create deeper understanding of, and growth strategies for, your established markets. They can also be used for similar markets you may identify as naturally compatible for your teams to focus on.

  • Ensure crystal clear focus with the Growth Framework, as you scale, whilst maintaining your core values. 

    Replicate and tailor your business model for expansion into new territories and markets, with strong strategic planning, using Pillar One content. Tailor your Growth Framework further to accommodate the new business areas and territories.

  • When planning an exit or event, benchmark your value against the value accelerator factors in Pillar One. And use the FREE Scorecard to gage suitability of potential acquisitions.

    The replicable growth model created through the Growth Framework supports next tier leaders and managers to maintain growth trajectories. This can be a major factor in favourable mergers and acquisition valuations.
